Ten-day Program

The Ten-day Program offers extensive training to adults with vision loss, whether they have suffered a loss of vision recently or have had a visual impairment their whole lives. The 10-Day Program is a series of full-days that run once-per-week for 10 weeks from 9:30 to 3:30. Prior to the start of the session, students choose up to five courses in which to enroll. Each person’s schedule and class level is highly individualized, enabling students to focus on core areas, elective areas or a combination of both at a pace that is appropriate for them.

The following core areas address communication, home safety and independence in daily living:

• Home Management
• Orientation & Mobility
• Assistive Technology
• Braille

Whether to help cope with vision loss, to learn how to continue a beloved activity in a new way or purely for enjoyment, students are able to enroll in any of our 19 elective courses in the areas of:

• Art
• Music
• Fitness
• Cooking
• Horticulture
• Computers

For an additional fee, students can enroll in two days of classes per week if they have too many interests to fit into one day! Keep in mind that our elective courses are offered according to staff availability and student interest.
